And they have set up a petition to encourage people to join the campaign.

Since 2010 there have been three fatal accidents on roads near Cemetery Junction.

Recently a boy suffered serious leg injuries when he was involved in a collision with a van at this junction.

20mph

Local Green Party campaigner Brenda McGonigle said: “When residents and Greens have raised this in the past, some crossings have been made safer and the council are monitoring the roads, but we think more needs to be done, introducing 20 mph at the junction for example like the council has done outside schools.

“A number of people are seriously injured every year and there have been three fatal accidents in the vicinity of the junction since 2010.

“Please sign the petition. I’ll be standing up for residents and asking the council to urgently review road safety at Cemetery Junction.”
